Restoring the Harmony hillside: a volunteer-led project in Malang
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony hillside needs $400 for saplings and equipment.

The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 47 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 141 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Tools and protective gear: $50
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Signage and educational materials: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

best of luck, Dwi. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Malang.
